Roasted Semia

An Indian variation of spaghetti prepared from hard ground wheat is called vermicelli or semia. It contributes to quelling the western noodle obsession. Both roasted and unroasted semia are packaged. It is an instant noodle that is ready to use due to the roasted Semia. Short spaghetti is a common ingredient in desserts like Kheer and Payasam. Along with veggies including peas, beans, and carrots, semia can be used to make the Upma breakfast dish.
